I deal with a multitude of application delivery approaches all the time. Brian Madden provides an interesting list and comments but he misses out a few options: Web delivery Java Web delivery supplemented by Active X controls or other plug-in technologies Client side virtualization Click-once .NET applications I am sure...
I found this article interesting, take this snip-it for example: Clay Shirky can be counted among the lucky few who not only appear to have mastered the wired world (and the wireless one) but also get paid to decode it for the rest of us. He teaches graduate courses in...
I am becoming increasingly convinced that we need to share our working practices with each other, so we can develop more effective “end to end” life-cycles. Too often we think in terms of particular products but it’s rare that a single product supports a whole process. I have some posts...

Graham seems to quite like the Origami, but I am not so sure. I already have a Tablet, I never have the keyboard attached and it slips easily into any bag that I own. I really don’t see a smaller form factor device working for me, unless its a phone,...
Today I needed to find out details of my motherboard, I came across Belarc Advisor, really excellent! It provides details of hardware, software, patch levels and much more, the feature I really liked was it tells me the Microsoft licence keys I used to install the SW, which is really...
I tried early versions of Google Earth, but they didn’t work on Windows 2003 Server, which ruled it out for me, it works now though, absolutely amazing. It has great coverage of my home town!
